Fernbank

Fernbank is an exceptionally attractive residence for retired ladies and gentlemen located near the town centre with the seafront and promenade just minutes away. Local bus routes and the train station are also within easy reach. Fernbank is designed to care for the needs of those who wish to be in pleasant surroundings, with the assurance of high quality cuisine and the attendance of helpful and caring staff during the day and night.

There are thirty rooms which are all linked to a central call system so that residents may contact staff at any time. Centrally heated throughout, each room has a washbasin, most have full ensuite facilities and are comfortably appointed to accommodate small personal items. All rooms have a colour digital television and a telephone can be included as required. The Regency dining room has a personal table service. Meals are served in the dining room for all residents unless room service is preferred.

Family and friends are also welcome to stay for luncheon or afternoon tea in the private dining room. Adjacent to the dining room are the two lounges that are regularly used by the residents, creating a pleasant communal atmosphere.

Fernbank has recently built a new internal conservatory sun room which is climate controlled and very spacious and bright. Across from the conservatory is a sheltered, pretty, internal courtyard for those who like to enjoy afternoon tea outdoors in summer. Fernbank is bounded by gardens to the front and rear with attractive plants and herbaceous borders.

Fernbank – RGN

I am a Health Coach and Registered Nurse who has lived and worked in Worthing for over 40 years. My main priority as a health coach is great self care, sadly my mother who is now 83 is not able to care for herself as well as she has in the past.

I needed a home that was light, airy, warm with great food, lots going on, a fun place to be, beautifully clean and with lovely attentive staff! (A tall order i know) everything i would want for myself or anyone i suppose.

Donna the manager in particular is so amazingly supportive and helpful. I have worked in almost every home in Worthing and sadly not one has come up with all the above, Fernbank not only ticks all the boxes but it is close to the town station and particularly the wonderful seaside, so its the perfect place.

Sadly my mother only goes in for respite as she insists on staying at home but she really loves it there and i hope and pray she eventually stays permanently.

Trust me, i really know what a good and bad place is and i truly cant find fault with them, i feel blessed to know she is safe and getting good food and care in a place even nicer than her own home.
